For this Collaborative SE session, we had @SE After Dark (the Live session moderator) speak aloud during the down times so that she could communicate with the Discord audience the direction she wanted to see this conversation go.

Summary: Christina returns for a fourth talk where we initially set out to explore her antinatalist view that it is unethical to bring a person into the world without consent, but quickly explore her personal position on end-of-life options. Watch video of talk here: https://youtu.be/LKF_-dFEv0c Wikipedia': "Antinatalism, or anti-natalism, is a philosophical position and social movement that assigns a negative value to birth. Antinatalists argue that people should abstain from procreation because it is morally bad." My first three talks with Cristina were in my view, inconsequential to this topic, and will likely never be uploaded. We are hoping to meet again soon on camera to revisit the morality of anti-natalism, as I regret not having spent more time on that. Cristina and I worked out many of the details surrounding the release of this video and I hope she feels comfortable keeping our channel of communication open should she wish to talk again.

Link: https://discord.gg/eVX3MCe This is a Follow up interview with an intent to answer questions. Watch the previous interview here: https://youtu.be/5J398MCg3L0 The goal of SE is not necessarily to change a belief, but to exercise and explore good reasoning for how we know what we know. Is it possible to resolve differences of belief without debate? Are we open minded to the idea that we are close minded? What would it take to change our minds? I am an amateur philosopher. I can be wrong about my beliefs and would be happy to discover that I am. I encourage my viewers to consider this approach the next time we misunderstand or disagree with someone. Please consider multiple examples of this Conversation style before making a final judgment about it. Music provided by Jim Rhodes, with Dan Harris on lap steel.

Summary: AZ returns for another chat, where we try to establish his reasons for being around 40 percent confident that there is a higher power. And yes, "outlierism" isn't really a word.

Practicing “Street Epistemology" by campfire - speaking with folks about what they believe and why. HOWEVER, in this particular interview, we decided to allow other “Street Epistemologists” the opportunity to partake in the questioning via Discord social media application. This was the first known attempt at this method of “co-operative, group SE”. There was no rehearsal or prior knowledge regarding the specific topic. Lauren had watched only 1 of Anthony Magnabosco’s SE videos (“Martiza”) prior to this, and the Discorders listening had no idea what she would be discussing. #streetepistemology #groupSE #collabSE Why? “Open-ended Socratic questioning is a highly effective and respectful way to address dogmatic beliefs supported by logical fallacies—without arguing or debate.” - Dr. Tyrone Wells.
